    List of Ingredients




    4 cups fat-free, less sodium chicken broth
    3 cups (1-inch) sliced asparagus
    1/2 pound peeled and deveined medium shrimp
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    1 cup chopped onion
    1 cup Arborio rice
    1/4 cup dry vermouth (I only used 2 Tbsp.)
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1/2 cup grated fresh parmesan cheese
    1 teaspoon butter
    1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

    Recipe



    Bring broth to a simmer in a medium saucepan (do not boil). Keep warm over low heat.

    Cook asparagus in boiling water for 3 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain and rinse with cold water; drain.

    Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion; sauté 5 minutes or until tender, stirring frequently. Add rice; cook 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in 1 cup broth; cook 5 minutes or until the liquid is nearly absorbed, stirring frequently. Stir in 1/2 cup broth, vermouth and salt. Add remaining broth, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring frequently until each portion of broth is absorbed before adding the next (about 25 minutes). Add asparagus and shrimp; cook 4 minutes. Stir in cheese and remaining ingredients.
